"In the village?" Zhuang Xiaoling frowned, "Did he say what to do?" ”

"Nope. But I saw him bring a pen and paper. ”

Pen and paper, is to be recorded......

Recording!

Sure enough, he refused to stop.

Zhuang Xiaoling went back to the house and took two cloaks, one was put on his body, and the other was held in his arms and went down the mountain.

In winter, it was very cold under the mountain, and everyone didn't want to go out if they had nothing to do. The stockade occasionally saw sunlight and was slightly warm.

Holding a soft pen in his hand, Qiu Fuzi raised his head from the crowd, and asked in a cold voice, "What did he do?" ”

"The boss has gone to find someone, and the big brother who will teach for you."

"Big brother, didn't you know him before?"

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads, but said happily, "Hey, he's funny, we got it when our leader went down the mountain to rob, don't look at his weak culture, he has also fought with our leader twice, he has a small temper, and he can cure the leader well." ”

"Hmm."

"Even this purchase of New Year's goods, it was proposed by the eldest brother, and he also specially brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Qiu Fuzi, and the brothers also have a blessing bag each, which is beautiful!"

"He's careful."

"The eldest brother is from the capital, and he has seen a lot, and he also knows our three masters." Hush shhhhh

"Then why did she stay?" In Qiu Fuzi's cognition, the finch and the bird have always been difficult to get along.

Hush glanced at her mouth: "It's our boss who won't let her go." A few days ago, I heard them arguing on the top of the mountain, one of them saying they wanted to go, and the other said they were not allowed to go. ”

"Where is she going?"

"Ancheng, do things." Hush and said everything, "The boss said, the eldest brother has an extraordinary background, and he can't let her go alone, he must stay." ”

"So, your boss doesn't want him to go?"

"That's right. Our boss also likes to play with his big brothers, which is very interesting. ”

"Hmm."

Qiu Fuzi nodded, took the red paper of one person, and continued to write.

At the foot of the mountain, in the village of Banya.

Ye Fu visited from west to east, and only walked more than a dozen households in most of the day.

In front of another place, Ye Fu walked in and asked one by one according to what he thought.

"Excuse me, is anyone in your family sick?"

There was only one woman inside, with a miserable look on her face, and looked at the surrounding walls: "I am the only one in the house, and there is nothing wrong with my body." ”

"Hmm." Ye Fu smiled faintly, "Where did you live originally?" ”

"Anseong-ri."

"Then why did you move here?"

"My mother-in-law is sick."

"Sick...... Sick and sent here? ”

"Hmm. It was sent to us by an official messenger. ”

After a while, the woman saw that Ye Fu did not speak, so she explained herself: "Jin Junshou sent someone to explain to us, after moving here, he will send money and food every month, and give him a free doctor." ”

"Then why would anyone still die?"

The woman grinned: "Little brother, it's a plague, it's just a fever and headache if it's light, and it's an incurable disease if it's serious!" ”

"That's—"

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and it was Zhuang Xiaoling, standing outside with a cold face.

After seeing Ye Fu, he didn't say a word, walked in directly and pulled her out, and wrapped the cloak in his arms around Ye Fu when he got to the door.

"What are you doing!"

"Come back with me."

"I'm doing business!" Ye Fu stretched out his hand, went around and finally pulled off the cloak on his body, pinched it in his hand and handed it back to Zhuang Xiaoling, "You get out of the way." ”

The corners of Zhuang Xiaoling's mouth hooked up with a sneer, and his eyes fell on the woman opposite: "I am Zhuang Xiaoling." ”

"What do you do?" Ye Fu was puzzled.

What kind of person is this, who has reported himself to his family for no reason.

But looking back at the horror on the woman's face, Ye Fu understood everything.

"You scoundrel!" Ye Fu knew that the woman couldn't tell her if she asked again, glared at the person next to her, Ye Fu smiled at the woman to express his gratitude, and walked out of the house angrily.

Walking to another household, Zhuang Xiaoling was still following, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Fu held his hands and sighed, ready to knock.

Zhuang Xiaoling walked over with long legs and stood behind him.

"What, do you want me to knock it for you?"

"Get out!"

Ye Fu stretched out his hand and buckled lightly, and after a while, someone came to open the door and asked who it was.

"I'm Zhuang Xiaoling, the one on Anying Mountain." Someone preemptively commits the crime.

The old man who opened the door blew his beard and glared, and the door closed immediately.

"You!" I wanted to be rude, but I held back.

Ye Fu snorted coldly and returned to the stockade.

"Big brother is back?" Hush smiled and greeted Ye Fu, who walked in front with a cold face, but did not get a response.

Seeing the second master Zhuang who was smiling from ear to ear behind him, he asked with a smile, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'm hungry, go cook."

"Oh."

The two entered the cabin one after the other, and when they closed the door, they heard a ping-pong bang, mixed with the roar of the big brother.

Hush muttered outside, "It's not going to be another fight." ”

Ye Fu inside made a fire at the quilt and the wooden bed, and sat on the stool to drink.

Zhuang Xiaoling also walked over and sat down, took a thick bowl and poured most of the half bowl of tea: "Why, I'd rather be cold on a cold day and go door-to-door to inquire, rather than ask me, an insider?" ”

Ye Fu was stunned when he heard this, turned sideways to look at Zhuang Xiaoling, and raised his head slightly: "Will you tell me?" ”

"I wanted to say it, but now......" Someone picked up the shelf.

"Do you want to fight?"

Ye Fu put one leg on the stool and snatched Zhuang Xiaoling's tea in his hand, "Say it quickly!" ”

Zhuang Xiaoling glanced at Ye Fu up and down: "You are really suitable to be a bandit." ”

"you!"

"No matter how arrogant you are, you'll soon catch up with my uncle."

Ye Fu glanced at Zhuang Xiaoling and silently withdrew his feet.

"This is a deal between me and Jin Ruoze. He promised me to send all the people infected with the plague in the county to Banya Village to settle down, and the government would distribute food every month. I led my brothers in the mountains to build waterways and reclaim wasteland. All the people you see in Banya Village have been plagued by the plague in Anseong. ”

"Deal? And what about the terms you promised him? ”

Zhuang Xiaoling smiled: "Earn a good name for him." I occupied An Ying Mountain, and from time to time I scared and frightened people for him, so he sent troops to protect him and win the hearts of the people. ”

"What's going on with the officials in the mountain bandits?"

Ye Fu remembered that more than half of the officials in Ancheng had illegal acts. The leader was especially arrogant.

"They probably think it's fun to be bandits, they can get something for nothing, and no one will punish them, who doesn't like it?"

"All of these are allowed by Jin Ruoze?"

"Hmm."

"Do you know that you are aiding the abuse, and the crime is enough to extinguish the three clans!"

"No, it won't. On the contrary, the court should thank me. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you know how people with the plague are generally dealt with?"

"Timely treatment!"

Zhuang Xiaoling sneered: "That's a minor illness and a small disaster." ”

"On a really large scale, even the county and county fever disease, the government will adopt a ban decree. After the ban, troops will be sent to guard the periphery to prevent anyone from escaping. Finally, put it on a torch and burn it clean. ”

Ye Fu was surprised.

"I've seen the county guard before Jin Ruoze, that's what he did."

"Why don't you play the court?"

"This is a natural disaster**, and no matter how much money the court has, it can't solve it. Ru County is close to the west, and the source of plague has never been cut off. After Jin Ruo took power, he gradually cut off the exchanges between the counties to prevent another large-scale infection. ”

"It's the next step."

"There's a good idea. King Jingyang once went to the west to pacify the enemy at the request of Jin Ruoze, but the strong iron cavalry can kill the weak country, but it can't stop the mountain bandits and thieves, and Rujun is still held hostage and threatened by some restless factors. ”

"That's why you are here, countering violence with violence?"

Zhuang Xiaoling smiled: "Don't make me so great. ”

Ye Fu turned his head and tried to calm down.

"Is this your time?"

"What?"

"No wonder Yu Xianggu told me that no matter where I go, I will face darkness, and only by constantly tempering my heart can I be strong. The so-called tempering is nothing but gradual numbness. ”

Ye Fu got up, packed up his things and walked down the mountain, but was stopped by the baked cakes and shhhh

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Xiaoling stood in front and asked.

"Go where I'm supposed to be."

"Until the third brother comes back, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Why do you restrain my movements!"

"Do you need another reason for the mountain bandits to catch someone and go up the mountain to have fun?"

Baked cakes and shhh

Shhhh ”

"Yes, I just learned to write my own name. You see, there are a lot of stone slabs, black lacquer, and lime grains in the stone wall over there, all of which the boss helped you make......"

In the days when Ye Fu and shhh

Ye Fu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Shhhh ”

"Then can the little brother stay with my sick number for a few more days and tell me interesting things in the capital?" Qiu Fuzi came out of the house, wearing a fluffy cloak, and slowly came down the stairs, his eyes looking directly at Ye Fu, "What you have to do must be not small, it is difficult to complete it on your own." Staying here, you can let the brothers run errands and ask around, and when the three masters come back, they can plan together. ”

"Yes, Master Qiu is also bored with a group of us big bosses, big brother, it's much more interesting when you're here."

Master Qiu's cold eyes swept Zhuang Xiaoling.

Second Master Zhuang immediately understood, ran to Ye Fu with a black face and pulled down the burden and hugged it in his arms: "Stay here with peace of mind, don't think about going anywhere." ”

Anseong, the county guard.

Jin Ruo is playing against Wen Yi in the pavilion.

The little guy walked in, waiting for the two to distinguish the winner before daring to report loudly: "Master, the person guarding Banya Village replied and found the person on the portrait." ”

The little guy stepped forward, and the portrait in his hand was also clearly visible, which was the appearance of Ye Fu when he entered the city: his face was delicate and handsome, his hair was tied with hostas, and his robes were simple.

"Miss Wen, the prime minister is in Banya Village."

"How's the illness in Banya Village?"

"It was a cold winter, and the condition was well controlled. If it is spring, it will start to send doctors and medicines on a large scale. ”

"What if the government doesn't send medicine in?"

Jin Ruoze raised his head and looked at the tranquil woman in front of him: "What does Miss Wen mean?" ”

"After the year, I am going to send troops to attack the bandits in Anying Mountain, and the people in Banya Village will have no need to exist."

"The ...... over there"

"There are people behind Jing Ruyi, she can't solve it, someone will help her solve it. So you don't have to worry about the follow-up troubles. ”

"Miss Wen is resourceful and thoughtful, and the official can rest assured."

"How is my resourcefulness and consideration compared to the prime minister?"

Jin Ruo laughed haha: "I don't know what Miss Wen said, but the person who is about to die, Yu Wuling?" ”

Wen Yi chuckled when he heard this, and Jin Ruoze also laughed.

In the afternoon, Jin Ruo took a lamp and walked to the dungeon, where Yuan'er was being tortured.

The whip whistled past, and the delicate skin immediately opened and the flesh blurred.

Under the dim light, there was no good place on Yuan'er's body.

"Yuan'er, still don't you want to say it? Who instructed you to let Yu Wuling go? ”

"I don't know."

"It's really hard-mouthed."

"Master, you come closer, Yuan'er will tell you a secret."

Jin Ruo glanced at the woman in front of him with a weak breath, and approached the past: "What secret?" ”

"The prime minister told me that your good days are coming to an end."

"You!" With a "snap", Jin Ruo raised his hand and slapped Yuan'er, "I don't know what to do, I'm ungrateful!" ”

"Huh." Yuan'er's head was missed, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, "Yuan'er has heard someone say. When the family was poor, in order to provide for the younger brother in the family to go to school, he went to the capital alone to work and make a living. Occasionally, he was favored by the prime minister, and then his official fortune was prosperous, and he rose step by step, and he also let his younger brother successfully conduct scientific research and take charge of the county. But later, because his brother was greedy for money and lustful as an official, he felt insulted, so he had a dislike with his brother and severed the brotherly relationship. The lord told me, is such a brother also ungrateful? ”

"He's standing up for his justice! Your own way! ”

"Hehe, master, Yuan'er's wife is a Taoist, I don't know what is not right, Yuan'er only knows, loyalty! Filial piety! Righteousness! It is the yardstick that measures a person's standing in heaven and earth. The lord just thinks that Hubu Shangshu has an inferior personality, is not worthy of being your brother, ruins your reputation, and blocks your official career...... What an interesting gentleman, sir. ”

Jin Ruo was furious, snatched the cowhide whip in the hand of the executioner and threw it at Yuan'er, harder and harder.

Yuan'er's face was painful, her body was painful, but her heart was cheering.

Whoever said that hating a man provokes him to show his most disgusting face, so that God can see it, and let the gods punish him.

It's a pity that Yuan'er can't wait for that day.

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Old man......"

Jin Ruo glared at the executioner, and finally swung two more whips.
